Facebook News: a Canadian Law Clinic Files Complaint Against Facebook Privacy
According to the SANS newsBites from this 3rd of June:
“The Canadian Internet Policy and Public Interest Clinic (CIPPIC) has filed a complaint alleging that the social networking site Facebook violated numerous aspects of the Canadian Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act. The complaint alleges that Facebook failed to let users know how their information is shared with third parties and failed to obtain permission to disclose information.”
Facebook maintains that the complaint missed the mark, as nearly all Facebook data are willingly shared by users. Facebook has said it:
“will continue ongoing efforts to educate users and the public around privacy controls on Facebook.”
